back in the good old days was in front --of a saloon on Saturday night. The ugly duckling always has been supposed to have gotten the short end of things, but we notice a pug--nose gets powdered just as often as a shapely one. The Chicago Tribune says the working man is looking for a full dinner pail 'when the fact of . the business is he is looking for a place to park. There are three things hastening the transition. Development of cheap electric power is making it an economy move. Bus competition is making it a business expedient. And an increasing demand for faster suburban transportation is driving the rail-- roads to it. Gray hairs can be dyed, but you'-- ve simply got to let a bald head go on and shine. 'The change from steam to electricity would have come long ago but for the many millions of dollars the railroads have in-- vested in coal mines and steam locomotives and the tremendous cost of electrifying the lines. Of necessity the change must be a It may not be of much interest to anybody, but our private opinion is that neither the development of the airplane nor the submarine will enable us to dodge the American chigger. ; There are a number of reasons why electricity is the motive power of the future. It is more economical in most sections. It makes railroad travel clean and therefore enhances its pleasures and comforts. The electric train is faster and is capable of carry-- ing a heéavier load. s * Today 3700 people make up this laboratory division. We have seen fruits of their labors recently, in television, and transatlantic telephony. Every citizen, whether he uses his telephone to settle a great business venture with a party thousands of miles away, or to make a date to play golf with Jones down the street, owes them a debt. Tke president of the largest locomotive works in the United States recently predicted that within ten years all railroads along the Atlantic coast from Boston to Washington will be electrified. During the past ten years the process has been going on at a rapid pace. The same authority believes steam will soon be driven to the great open spaces where smoke is not objectionable and some inefficiency can be tolerated. Coming from a man whose interests are bound up in steam and coal, these statements bear unusual significance. He is glad to see the change, even though he has devoted his genius to the development of steam locomotives. No difficulty, no matter how imposing, can discourage these workers of progress. And in half a century they have paved the way for transforming those first two rude instruments into a gigantic industry absolutely necessary to modern life and busi-- ness. The industry has taken the best science can offer to solve step by step the many problems that have presented themselves. Perfection of the telephone art, or any other, can only be reached by the most meticulous and «xhaustive experimentation. The public has a fair understanding of the more concrete facts of telephone progress; of the extensions, the gradual perfection of the mechanics of transmission, of the constantly bettered. service. l It knows less of the intensive research, behind the scenes, that has made our telephone history possible. TELEPHONE GROWTH RESULT OF RESEARCH Fifty--two years ago there were two telephones in the world, both of them inventor's models. Today the United States alone has more than 18,000,000 and the world's total surpasses the 29,000,000 mark.
